Well I think you're wrong.
This is one of the few places I know of where people understand they're just words


EDIT: I also think that any "racist" posts aren't actually taking the piss of darkies or whatever, but taking the piss out of racism itself.

I agree
but the same words, over and over again, gets tedious*.

It takes effort to be funny, any old cunt can be provocative and offensive. It's like the messageboard - some days it's inspired, and the bandwagons are funny, some weeks you get nothing but the 'quo and 9/11.

Words have meanings.
If you don't mean the meanings, don't say the words.

words don't kill people.
Rappers do.

in response to your edit
to get away with "casual racism = funny"
you have to demonstrate that you are not actually casually racist
Mykey has done that (although he teases around the edges quite often) ... you haven't (yet)

and even when the regulars know it isn't serious, it looks pretty nasty to a noob or a passing visitor

Can you point me to Mykey doing that,
other than where he's losing an argument?
I'd be impressed.
I agree, Parrott does come across like he genuinely means it.

Granted it's usually the last post of an argument he's lost as you say.
But I'd give him the benefit of the doubt. An ill-informed would-be-tory yes. A cunt. Certainly. But probably not a racist.
